I made this plaque as a gift for my son to hold his Christmans bottle opener!  The image is his "SKIWISE" app image.  Check out his app HERE on the app store!

Also - my husband had an arborist come out to trim one of our trees on Friday that had branches getting to close to our house - more materials for my stick furniture!

New Guest Towel Sets for our Future Cabin finished last weekend - already have 5 others done plus family sets!



Example of what my Sister had when she arrived to the "Pauly Spa" last weekend.

I got some new tools for Christmas so I needed a special bag to hold them all.  Today I made a Carving Tool Roll Up Pouch similar to ones you can buy - but mine is one of a kind!

I also made dog leash holder - still needs some poly!

Wow - can you believe its already the end of Jan!  I've been subbing the Thursday night Seated Chair and the Yoga Flow classes since November.  It's not too late to join us for the rest of the Jan/Feb Session and then continue on with me for the March/April session.  Yes - I'm going to keep going.   We have a great group of yogis each week, but we are happy to add some more.

Both classes provide options and opportunities as well as challenge.  Come, move and breath with us!

Info about my class and others are posted on the BodyMindCircle website

Be sure to call/text the teacher you will be there so we can expect you!

I usually wait until I finish a project to post about it - but this one will take me awhile - so - I'll post some updates once in awhile!

I've been toying with doing a quilt for my bed for awhile - but never got excited about a style or pattern until I finally ran across THIS for inspiration in Pinterest.

For the record, I have only ever made a "sampler" quilt when my daughter was a baby.  She is now 25, and the quilt wasn't very big. I ended up purchasing the 6 Point Star Quilt block pattern from "Kits by Carla" after watching her video on YouTube.

I decided to make the 12" size - and a few items of note if you also get the pattern and want to do the 12" size:
You only need the same qty of strips as the other sizes (not 4 only 2) you will see what I meanYou need 3 1/2" strips - don't only cut 2" or your are in trouble...been there, done that :( I made one set of eight - 6 Point Star Blocks...and thought - wow - I now have the m…

I decided that since I have a website to talk about all my creative pursuits - I wanted a Logo (and a "Favicon") to go along with it.

I used my calligraphy skills to make a symbol that is a "take" on the White Trillium flower (see the "C" for Create and the "S" for Stretch. (the "C" portion of the Logo is my "Fabicon" - PS what you see when you click to go to the URL of my site.
My Son Spencer Pauly turned my drawing into the real thing for my Christmas Gift this year - Thanks Spencer!

I love Spinach Artichoke Dip but that does not work in a house of Gluten Free and no Dairy.


So......this is what I came up with click "HERE" for the full recipe!  Enjoy!

I made this for my father in law and I LOVE IT!  
Amazing shoe horn you do not need to bend over to use.

I'm always struggling to throw on my shoes when I'm running out the door.

This would be so awesome to have!  I guess I will need to keep my eye our for just the right stick - and make one for myself (assuming I can get my hands on the "kit" for it again).
